New kid here. Kim in Dallas. I have a 2019 Jaguar F-Pace with 26,800 miles on it, a loan not leased (bought that a while back), and I have a stellar offer from Carvana at $27,100 to buy and owe $23,000. Here’s the deal, I have no idea where to go from here. Like a fucktard I accidentally paid their transfer fee, so I’m out $1490 unless someone has a rider in their pocket somewhere I can use against them. I’m currently entertaining A 2022 Hyundai Sonata Limited hybrid with 21,000 MI but I just can’t picture myself in it. So I keep pushing the date back and have kind of refused to sign any purchase agreement. But I like their deal on my car. What I’d like to do is try to lease and get into a BMW again. Back in 2013, I had a 6 Series Coupe 3-year lease and those were the Glory Days. There was no better way to spend $1,000 a month than to send it to BMW and drive that car. I’d be happy to drive a 4 Series or something of that nature but I don’t know how to go about finding these lease deals! I barely know my way around Dallas! I just got on this site and became a Super Supporter last night and I’ve been reading it for about 8 hours and I’m just overwhelmed. I’m sorry, I know there’s a lot of research to do and there are steps to take but I’m wondering if anybody can lead me in the correct direction in Dallas on where to start. Again I like Carvana’s deal on my car and I would like to get that transfer feedback in an Ideal World I’d love to go and drive a BMW again without paying $500 a month for it which is what I was going to pay for the Sonata. I should be well within capabilities to do that given the fact that I’m approved to borrow whatever I want from Bank of America (the Sonota had a $25k note and I have an 850 credit score).
Sell the car, take the equity check, go through a broker here to get a good deal. In the meantime, go through the forum and read up. If you go to a dealership, you’ll get hosed
Sounds like your conflict here is about getting that transfee fee back. Question is what the fine print said when you agreed to it regarding refundability (if at all). Also it might be one of those things where you can still cancel it before they physically transport the car but not if after, so this is potentially a time is of the essence issue. I’d tackle that post haste and contact a bmw broker like IAC immediately after.
They have a non-refundable transfer fee that you pay on any car I think unless it says free transfer. I began a purchase of a Honda and paid the fee to have the car transferred and change my mind. Honestly it was late at night and I really didn’t even know what I was doing. It was like the last step and I shouldn’t have been pressing buttons on my phone at that moment in time. Anyway, at least it’s transferable. That was nice until I decided that I really don’t want any of their cars I guess so now I’m out 1490 unless I can figure out a way to get a refund because it’s not refundable. I can transfer it to a different car and then it goes towards the purchase price and it also will get the car on a flatbed truck wherever I need it to go. In my case Dallas. I really just want to sell in my car and I don’t know if I get hosed necessarily at a dealership because I would read up here but I know that there are Brokers on here and there are verified deals and there are incentives and there are not incentives and there are certain cars and there are other cars that are not going to be incentivized so I’m just wanting someone to point. Anybody in Dallas people my Dallas people? 75228? Don’t do it for me but just Shout out? BMW 75228? LOL sorry I’m being a putz and probably really annoying but I’m just about to dive into all this.
No experience with Carvana transfer thing but I would start requesting nicely for a refund, change agents and ask for supervisor if unsuccessful. 1490 is a lot of money to throw away.
It’s the transfer fee that I want back that would clear the Slate for me to move forward somewhere else so I’m perplexed by how certain cars are put forth for these. If the dealer can’t bang out of residual based on all the information they have behind the scenes how can we? I didn’t roll the dice thinking that I was going to have the upside of a Jaguar F Pace when I leased it. This is a dealer car it had five or six thousand miles on it and it was just broken in enough to where I could afford it. I had just moved to Dallas and I was trying to keep things lean. I’m settled now and I can take on some risk but why would I want to pay $500 or whatever my car payment was for the Jag to drive a Hyundai Sonata? I just can’t compete that in my head. Or any other car that sort of Falls in that $30,000 range. So the deal is wrong is what that says to me. So that’s why I want off carvana to answer whoever’s question that was. Give me my 1490 and then let me go. But not before you buy my Jag. Please.
It’s not really a transfer fee, it’s a transportation fee - when you purchase a vehicle outside of your immediate delivery area, they transfer it to your closest Carvana location. If they have not transported the car yet, you should be able to cancel it. Stop talking to the bot and get a direct number, they are very easy to deal with.
